Events

Below is a list of options for publicizing your events within the Law School. Included with each option are the guidelines and instructions for how to utilize them.

Duke Law Calendar and Duke Law Daily

Once you have received confirmation for the date, time, and location of your event (gained by submitting the Event Request Form), your event will be added to the Duke Law Calendar. Calendar items are automatically populated into the Duke Law Daily and appear as upcoming events. The Daily is sent every morning classes are in session to all Law School students, faculty, and staff. If you need to edit your Calendar description, e-mail the Events Office at events@law.duke.edu. For other questions about the Duke Law Daily, please contact daily@law.duke.edu.

Duke Flyer

• Go to flyer.duke.edu and follow the instructions for uploading your event poster
• Posters must be landscape (horizontal orientation) and 1920 x 1080 pixels to appear on Law School displays
• Once you've done that, email flyer@law.duke.edu to let us know it is in the system and you want it added to the Law School displays

Event “Day Board”

The large bulletin board outside the Registrar’s Office on the second floor serves as a “Day Board,” divided into sections by day of the week. Event flyers, no larger than 12 x 18 inches, may be displayed on the board one week in advance of an event. Only one flyer for each event may be displayed, and flyers must be hung in a symmetrical, organized fashion. The Events Office will clear each day’s flyers at the end of that day, freeing the space to promote the events that will occur in the following week.

Other Bulletin Boards

Small bulletin boards are available inside the second and third floor restrooms, the Blue Lounge and above student mail folders. Flyers no larger than 8.5 x 11 inches may be displayed on these boards; no more than one flyer for an event may be displayed per board, and flyers may not overlap. Any flyer that violates policy and/or is out of date, will be removed.

Email Lists (Student Organizations)

Invitations/notifications for student organization events may be sent to your group’s listserv. Most student organizations have a list, which is moderated by a student moderator. Instructions for list moderators are available at: http://www.law.duke.edu/actech/listmoderator. Mass emails to all students, faculty, or staff should not be sent. The Duke Law Daily and audience-specific portal pages are designed to notify the Duke Law community of all events and announcements, and to avoid excessive mass emails. For questions regarding listservs, contact the Student Affairs Office.

Tabling

This option allows groups to set up informational tables in high-traffic areas to let people know about upcoming events, sell tickets, distribute merchandise, etc. Requests for space follow the same process as event requests. https://law.duke.edu/events/planning/

Media Coverage

If you are interested in media coverage for your event, contact the Office of Communications at communications@law.duke.edu.

E-news

The Law School sends out a monthly e-newsletter to all alumni publicizing Law School events. If you wish to let alumni know about your event through e-news, please provide information regarding your event to the Office of Communications at communications@law.duke.edu. As this is only a monthly publication, please make sure to send your information far in advance in order to make sure it is published in the month prior to your event.
